I believe that there should be universal healthcare in the US.

A reason why there should be universal health care in the US is because it could make medical services affordable for everyone. According to a 2012 study from Consumer Records, paying for healthcare is the top financial problem in the United States. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, 26% of Americans report that they or a family member had trouble paying for medical bills in 2012, and 58% reported that they delayed or did not seek medical care due to cost. According to one estimate of a proposed bill to implement a single-payer health care system in the United States, 95% of US households would save money and every individual in the United States would receive guaranteed access to publicly financed medical care. As you have seen from these statistics, healthcare has become such a financial problem that people are not visiting the doctors and staying sick because of it. Thank you.
